Even since the New 52 started, one of DC's best books has been their main Batman book. Not just because it's focus on Batman but thanks to writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo. Their collaboration, and eventually bromance, on Batman has shown in the pages of the comics. From their story arcs which included Court of Owls, Death of the Family, Zero Year, Endgame, and currently Superheavy; they've proved to deliver. At NYCC, Scott Snyder revealed Greg will be taking a short break from Batman. Snyder said "Greg is going to take a break after Batman #51. It's going to be very short. He and I have known this for some time. He's going to do a short project with Mark Millar. I'm going to stay on Batman. When you work with someone for a long time, the best thing about comics is the collaborative nature of it."

The biggest takeaway for me is the fact that Snyder and Capullo's Batman contract ended at issue 50. The fact Snyder will be working on 51 and beyond and Capullo will be returning confirms that they won't be leaving Batman anytime soon. What are your thoughts? Are you happy that while Capullo will be briefly gone, he and Snyder will be staying on Batman? What artist do you hope will be replacing Capullo in his abstance? Are you interested in Capullo's project with Mark Millar? Comment below, let me know. Peace and remember...

Glad to hear they're both sticking around (even if Capullo is taking a little break). Snyder and Capullo's Batman run is the first continuous comic run I've followed (well, I wait for the collected volumes but still), before that I just picked up any collections that piqued my interest. Here's hoping the interim artist is one of the good ones, because this book and its creative team deserve that.

Haven't gotten around to the Gordon Batman stories yet mind, still a bit wary of them but hopefully they're as good as the rest. If it was another team behind them I'd be very afraid, but if Snyder and Capullo thought it was the right thing to do then I'll give it a shot. Still hope Bruce reclaims the mantle sooner rather than later.

Hopefully Snyder gets Sean Murphy on board for those issues where Capullo's gone; after that future Batman story they told back in Detective #27, I'd love to see another Snyder/Murphy Bat-story.

Unfortunate but understandable. I'm more concerned with who the filler artist will be, as they have a lot to live up to (even if it's for a short period of time). Jock would be a good choice to replace Capullo, unless Snyder and DC have someone specific in mind.
